ABO Blood Group System Flashcards
genes are also known as
*There are three.
- allele
- allelic
- allelomorphs
Enumerate ABH antigens production
- glycosyltransferase production
- paragloboside conversion to H antigen
ABH antigens are present in body fluids
secretors
demonstarted that there are 2 subgroups of A:
- A1 (A antigen + A1 antigen)
- A2 (A antigen)
Emil von Dungern & Ludwik Hirszfeld
inherited according to Mendelian Law
A & B antigen
H gene’s enzyme
alpha-2-L fucosyl transferase
ABO locus resides on ____
chromosome 9
Secretors are also found in epithelial tissues:
Give all 4.
- bone marrow
- lymphocytes
- kidneys
- platelets
dono nucleotide is part of?
glycosyltransferase production
2 genes will determine which ABO antigen will be found on RBC membrane
Theory of Inheritance
demonstarted on RBC
A & B antigen
reacts better at room temperature
ABO antibodies
basic precursor material that has a glycolipid/glycoprotein backbone to which sugars are attached
paragloboside
foreign substances
antigen
True or False
A & B antigen can be found in body secretions (soluble antigens), with strong antibodies.
False
*with weak antibodies
antibodies occur in 2 ways
- naturally occuring
- immune antibodies
Type 2 chain’s linkage
beta-1,4 linkage
actual genetic makeup or genes inherited
genotype
Which H gene is most common and cannot make A & B antigen?
- most common: HH
- cant make A&B antigen: hh
ABH antigens are present in all organs of the body
Histo blood group antigen
possess A & B antigens → A & B substances
plants & bacteria
Which antigen has 810,000-1,170,000 antigen sites and a greater sera activity?
A1
- *A2 has 240-290*
- *A2 produces 1-8% anti-A1 in their serum*
not normally present in a newborn infant
antibody
discovered forward & backward typing
Karl Landsteiner
Antibody
IgG and not normally present in an individual
immune antibodies
B gene’s enzyme
alpha-3-D-galactosyl transferase
- on erythrocyte membrane
- regulates production of H-antigen on erythrocytes
Zz system
attaches N-acetylgalactosamine to the 3rd carbon of terminal galactose of H active gene
A gene
Give blood group AB’s subgroups
*There are two.
- A1B
- A2B
develops 3-6 months after birth
ABO antibodies
chemically immunoglobulin
ABO antibodies
regulates H gene activity in secretions but not on RBCs
Se system
- does not affect formation of ABH antigen on RBC
- does not control ABH transferases in hematopoietic tissue
Se system
paragloboside conversion depends on the action of?
H gene FUT1 & secretor FUT2
How do you differentiate A & B?
- antigen sites
- immunodominant sugar
ABO antibodies
Present in low titer or even absent in cases of congenital __(1)__ & __(2)__.
- hypogammaglobulinemia
- agammaglobulinemia
What are the quantitative factors for A1 & A2 differentiation?
- antigen sites
- alpha 3-N-acetylglucosaminyl concentration
lectin herbs
- Dolichos biflorus*
- Ulex europeus*
- stimulates antibody production
- can be inhaled & ingested
plants & bacteria
